Chapter 676: Sacrifice
"Shen Minglun." The first name was announced.
In the crowd, the young man who had won the beauty and was hated by his rival jumped out, pointed to the team member surnamed Yang and scolded: "Yang Xuzhong, there is you, Lao Tzu remembers." β
Zhou Chunyu shook his head, wrote Shen Minglun's name on the whiteboard, and crossed it out.
The second ballot opened, "Shen Minglun." Guan Xin, who sang the ticket, had a strange face.
This time, even Shen Minglun himself was stunned, it seemed that he had more than one rival in love, and someone screamed in the crowd: "Xiao Shen, this is called being proud in love and frustrated in the workplace." The crowd burst into laughter.
The ballots were reported one by one, and finally after Shen Minglun, other names appeared, and the team members who were read their names all pointed at the sky and scolded them, looking at no one pleasing to the eye, and felt that the good brothers in the past have now become all bastards with black hands behind their backs.
Zhou Chunyu crossed the word "positive" while writing his name, but he was shaking his head in his heart, the names on the whiteboard, a few of them are indeed recognized by the Ministry of Armed Forces, but most people, the performance is neither good nor bad, it seems that as expected, this vote has become a tool to vent personal anger.
Wang Decheng opened the ballot paper folded into small pieces again, he only glanced at it, he was stunned, and a strange expression appeared on his face, he thought about it, and handed the ballot to Guan Xin next to him, Guan Xin glanced at Wang Decheng in surprise, took it, looked down, and he was also stunned.
Xu Weiwei saw this scene next to her, and as a scrutineer, she naturally walked over: "What's wrong?" β
Guan Xin said with a straight face: "This ticket is wrong!" β
Xu Weiwei was surprised: "What's wrong?" Is it another invalid ticket? "Up to now, there have indeed been some invalid votes, some blank, some messy symbols, and some people have capitalized "bastard" on them, and some people even played a prank and wrote the words "Long Aotian" on the ticket. Xu Weiwei really thought that someone in the armed forces department called this name at first, but Zhou Chunyu told her with tears and laughter that "Long Aotian" was just a common name for the protagonist of online novels.
Guan Xin said categorically: "There is a problem with this ballot. You can't count. As he spoke, he threw it in the garbage basket.
Xu Weiwei grabbed it: "Wait, what's the problem, let me take a look." How. I can't even look at it, huh? β
Guan Xin's face turned red, Xu Weiwei has a good relationship with her mother-in-law, and. She was also the wife of Li Bo of the Ministry of Mechanics - he hesitated again and again, and finally handed over the ballot in his hand.
Xu Weiwei took the ballot and looked at it: "This ticket is not damaged or stained, and the name on it is also written very properly, where is the problem?" She raised her hand and raised the ticket in public: "It's a normal ticket." β
As soon as the face of the ballot was unveiled, the people of the armed forces department in the courtyard suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at the ballot in disbelief, and there were three clear words on it. "Wang Bomin"!
Zhou Chunyu also noticed that the atmosphere of the scene was different, and he turned around from the whiteboard: "Whose name is it?" β
Xu Weiwei read word by word: "Wang-Bo-Min." β
Zhou Chunyu's hand holding the pen suddenly froze.
In the middle of the night, someone in the crowd shouted: "Is there any mistake, who wrote Wang Bomin's name?" Who doesn't know that Wang Bomin is the most diligent in our armed forces? What dirty, tired, dangerous work, he always rushes in the first? Last week, he was injured to cover Xiao Zhang. Fuck, whoever gave birth to a child didn't have an asshole, and wrote Wang Bomin's name on it. β
Everyone, everyone in the courtyard, every member of the armed forces department who participated in the vote, glared angrily at the people around them, as if the other party was the despicable traitor, and he was the one who firmly upheld justice.
But everyone knows that in fact, the so-called traitors are among them. It may even be the one who is the most angry and the most unjust.
Guan Xin said again: "This ticket can't be counted." β
Xu Weiwei shook her head: "Xiaoguan, this ticket is very standardized, and the three words 'Wang Bomin' are also clear, Wang Bomin--Well, I know him better, and he and his fiancΓ©e Zhu Yazhen are also quite reasonable, but voting is voting, and the words are black and white on it, we can't just say things because we have a good impression of Wang Bomin, if we do this, we don't need to engage in this last elimination system." β
Xu Weiwei was already older than Guan Xin, and she was right, Guan Xin choked up for a while, and at this time, a voice suddenly appeared in the crowd: "Captain Guan, thank you, but, but I'm not a saint, there are always mistakes, maybe a colleague misunderstood me and me, so I voted for it." I, if I have it, I will change it, and if I don't, I will encourage it. β
Guan Xin looked at it, but it was Wang Bomin who spoke, only to see him standing in the courtyard, and the team members next to him faintly dispersed, revealing an open space, and he was the only one, standing there alone.
Wang Bomin stiffened there, his hands clenched into fists, his lips trembling slightly imperceptibly, and his chest rising and falling violently. He just felt like his heart was about to burst - it wasn't fair! It's not fair! How can there be my name? It shouldn't have my name! Never! Is this the last elimination? The most incompetent and lazy person was supposed to be chosen, why did I have my name? It's not fair!!
This roar of rage was held in his heart, and his body was about to burn open.
Guan Xinyi stomped his feet: "Fart!" Fart! If there is bullshit, change it, and if there is none, it will be encouraged, if there is, if there is, if there is no, you are obviously a good man in our armed forces, why are you carrying this black pot, fuck, there is no heavenly reason! Fuck, who's that! Who voted for Wang Bomin? Stand up, Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu ......"
"Guan Xin! What do you want?! Zhou Chunyu and Xu Weiwei stopped Guan Xin together.
Zhou Chunyu was in a hurry, he knew that Guan Xin was in trouble, how could he publicly express that he wanted to retaliate against the voters? The last elimination system was set by Wang Lu himself, and to oppose this system is to oppose Wang Lu!
Guan Xin's position is very embarrassing in the Ministry of Armed Forces, to a certain extent, his ability is not strong, and he relied on his father-in-law Feng Haiqi to take the position, and Zhou Chunyu also knew that Wang Lu was very jealous of such a "father and son soldier in battle", for fear that the armed forces department would be dominant, and it was only out of trust in Feng Haiqi that he kept holding back.
This is actually an open secret, and even Feng Haiqi himself knows it, otherwise. He would not dump all the daily routine work of the Armed Forces Department to Zhou Chunyu.
But now Guan Xin seems to be speaking up for Wang Bomin's righteousness, but in essence, he is on the territory of the Ministry of Armed Forces, openly challenging Wang Lu's authority and orders!
Zhou Chunyu glanced at Xu Weiwei quickly. Fuck, the ladies of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are gossip long-tongued women, and it won't take until the afternoon to spread all over Yashan today. The consequences - I can't even think about it. Nowadays, Yashan is no longer than before, and the personnel structure is complex, which can be described as a mixture. The Ministry of Armed Forces has limited strength and it is impossible to screen everyone, and who knows if there will be people who will seize this matter and make a big fuss. Wang Lu is missing, the cliff is unstable, at this time, it is a good time for a few people to get up and down, but there is a lack of introduction, a lack of a reason. If it is known that there is chaos within the armed forces......
Zhou Chunyu immediately said loudly: "Don't make any noise, this matter is settled!" As he spoke, he turned around and wrote the words "Wang Bomin" on the whiteboard, and he silently apologized to Wang Bomin in his heart. I'm sorry Wang Bomin, I can't openly seek justice for you, I can only sacrifice you for the stability of Yashan, but don't worry, this vote must be an accident, and it will not damage your merits. I'll make it up to you when I have the chance.
Xu Weiwei originally wanted to have a good argument with Guan Xin - look at what he did just now, and he actually openly shouted in front of her to retaliate against the voters, which, this is too unusual. Even if he is Feng Haiqi's son-in-law, he can't be ignored, so he has to pull him to Chen Wei and say it.
But I didn't expect Zhou Chunyu to stop it immediately, and also wrote down Wang Bomin's name on the whiteboard, since Zhou Chunyu has identified with herself, she can't make a fuss.
Xu Weiwei glanced at Guan Xin and Wang Decheng: "Please continue to sing votes." β
The votes continued to start, more names, more "positive" words appeared on the whiteboard, and when they saw their names appear on the whiteboard, everyone lost the initial anger - even Wang Bomin was on the list, what else did he say. No matter how wronged you are, can you wronged Wang Bomin?
Wang Decheng opened a ballot: "Wang Bomin." β
Zhou Chunyu added a stroke under "Wang Bomin" on the whiteboard.
After a while, "Wang Bomin". Another stroke.
Then, two "Wang Bomin" in succession.
On the whiteboard, there is already a "positive" word under "Wang Bomin", which is more than anyone on the whiteboard.
The courtyard was eerily calm, and everyone looked at the word "positive" in a daze.
However, it's not over yet.
In the ballot box, "Wang Bomin" still appeared, and at this time, even Wang Decheng, who was a little gloating, sweated on his forehead. When he opened the ballot again, and when he saw the familiar three words on it, he couldn't help but groan: "Wang, Uncle Wang......"
The frozen crowd in the courtyard suddenly made waves, and a person staggered through the crowd and walked out, it was Wang Bomin. I saw that his eyes were blank, his steps were vain, he was stunned and just moved forward, ignoring the people around him, the team members took the initiative to get out of the way, and a few team members who were good friends with Wang Bomin called "Wang Bomin", and wanted to come forward to catch him, but they didn't know what to say after catching up - this ticket is not a comfort sentence that can disappear - everyone was stunned in place, only until Wang Bomin's back disappeared at the door of the armed forces.
It is daytime now, it is the combat preparation time of the armed forces, according to the order, all the team members are not allowed to move in private without orders, but Wang Bomin left his post, up to Zhou Chunyu, down to the ordinary team members, no one stopped Wang Bomin. Because everyone knows that the Armed Forces Department is sorry for Wang Bomin, and the people of the Armed Forces Department, intentionally or unintentionally, betrayed this really good soldier.
The word "positive" is the evidence of the crime, proving that this is not someone's nonsense, but a tacit premeditated collective betrayal.
They not only betrayed their comrades-in-arms, but also their conscience!
...... "Humanity." In the grass shed at the head of the field, Uncle Chen squinted his presbyopia and sighed long: "Girl, you are still young, you have never seen the ugliness of human nature." β
Chen Qiong held her cheeks and said, "Grandpa Chen, what does this human nature have to do with the last elimination system?" β
Uncle Chen patted his thigh and said, "Why doesn't it matter?" Hypocrisy, selfishness, jealousy, falling into the ground, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, duplicity, forgetting profit and righteousness......" He pointed to his brain: "These things are harmful, harmful." β
A few old men in the grass shed also shook their heads and said: "Lao Chen is right, in the past, everyone was hunted and killed by zombies everywhere, and it was too late to live, so they simply ate the weak." Everyone is a real villain, but it's nothing, who has a big fist. Who is the boss, an old guy like us, he deserves to starve to death, and we ourselves accept our fate. No wonder. But the bad thing is that Captain Wang established this cliff mountain. β
Chen Qiong didn't understand even more: "Isn't it good for my father to build Yashan?" Did he do something wrong to give everyone a place to live? β
A few old men gossiped and said, "Okay, why is it not good, according to my old man." Captain Wang has accumulated a lot of yin virtue. But the problem is that he is too good and his heart is too kind. Good intentions, sometimes bad things. β
"Yashan allows everyone to have no worries about food and clothing, and they don't have to worry about zombies anymore. This last-place elimination system is carried out. Hey, all kinds of demons and monsters should jump out. Alas, it's a pity that there are a lot of good people who are going to suffer. β
"Girl, don't believe that good people have good rewards, in this society. The one who suffers the most is the kind of good person who is capable and kind-hearted. β
"This person, as soon as he has the ability, he will be jealous of others, laughing at you in front of people, he can't stab a knife in the back, he can't compete with you in the open, and he can't see his unscrupulous hands and feet in secret."
"Being able is already hated, and if you have the ability and being human, it's even worse. It is human nature to bully honest people and good people. β
"Those bad people, lazy people, real villains, others don't dare to offend easily, because they are afraid of these people's revenge, as the saying goes, a thief bites into the bone. They don't dare to resist the real bad guys, but they don't have to worry about the good guys and honest people, so they can naturally step on a few feet secretly. β
"This last-place elimination system gives people such an opportunity. In a unit, it is always necessary to choose the last unlucky ghost, if you choose those really bad guys, if they know about revenge, then you will be unlucky, and you can't bear to choose friends who are close to you, so what should you do? Just choose the really good people. There are evil intentions in this, but there are still some people who don't have a really bad conscience, they just feel that anyway, they just write a random name to make up the number, and there are few people who want to come to this good person to fill in the election, even if there are one or two votes, they will not really choose this good person. But I didn't think about it, one person thought like this, two people thought like this, and the people who thought like this became the majority. In the end, the good guy will be elected with the most votes. β
Chen Qiong was already stunned, and only after a while did she scream: "How can this be!" How so! No, it won't! Never like this! Chen Qiong was reluctant to admit that the last elimination system was wrong, because this was the attention of Dad Wang Lu, and Dad would never be wrong.
Uncle Chen shook his head, he looked at Yinjiang Town from afar: "It doesn't take long to cast a vote, and now, it is estimated that the results have come out." Alas, I hope those people are open-minded and don't be overwhelmed by this setback. β
An old man next to him said "hey" and said: "It's hard to say, the more kind-hearted people are, the more face-saving they have, and they work so hard, but they are tricked by others with a ticket, and the nest fire in my heart is certain." β
Chen Qiong said unwillingly: "I, my mother and I will say that this vote cannot be done accurately." But even though she was a child, she knew that this was a bit ridiculous, so she paused and said: "I asked my mother to talk to everyone, you can't bully people like this, you can do it like this, so what's the use of the last elimination system?" Isn't this a pit for people who really do real things? Yes, I asked my mother to gather everyone for a meeting, have a good talk, and vote again next month, there will definitely be no such oolong. β
Although Chen Qiong is clever, she is still a child after all, and she thinks that as long as Chen Wei holds a meeting in the auditorium like in school, her classmates will be honest and obedient.
Uncle Chen raised his rough hand and rubbed Chen Qiong's head: "You are a sincere child, but even if Teacher Chen Wei comes forward, it is useless, hey, I see, by next month, these people will definitely be selected." β
Chen Qiong's little face turned red, and she shouted unadmittedly: "Why? β
Uncle Chen said: "People, they are used to being popular and stepping on the well, they voted for these honest people to bully this time, and they will not be retaliated against, and when they vote next month, they will naturally vote for them, anyway, they have been bullied once, and if they are bullied again, there will be no anxiety in their hearts." Besides, there are some people who are not familiar with those honest people, and when they saw the results of the first vote, they mistakenly thought that the other party was really Lai Han, so they filled in his name in the next vote. Moreover, in the final analysis, we are all ordinary people, who has no love and hatred in their hearts, and those who have been treated unfairly, how can they be at ease in their posts in the next time, and it will more or less affect their work. In this way, waiting for the second vote next month, not only will the first result not be corrected, but the number of votes will become more and more concentrated, and the accusations of those honest people will be confirmed. And also...... Forget it, my old man is too lazy to say it. β
Chen Qiong sat at the table, listening dumbfounded, in Uncle Chen's description, she seemed to see a stone rolling down the snow slope, rolling bigger and faster, from the original ordinary stone to a huge and unstoppable avalanche. (To be continued.) )
